Community Lifter / Holistic Development

Transform Communities.
Build What Lasts.

Community Lifters fund comprehensive transformation in a single community—church planting, clean water, women’s empowerment, and sustainable development—creating a Community Hub of Hope that multiplies impact for generations.

Gospel + Compassion = Redemptive Lift

When the Gospel is shared—love is shown, and hope is restored.

Why Community Lifters Matter

Real transformation takes time. Community Lifters choose depth over distance—walking with a community long enough for:

  • Faith to take root and grow
  • Leaders to be trained and mentored
  • Families to move from survival to stability
  • Churches to become anchors of hope and care

This is how the Gospel becomes visible—not only in words, but in restored dignity and renewed lives.

WHAT COMMUNITY LIFTERS SET IN MOTION

share the good news

1 Local Church Strengthened

A Community Hub of Hope rooted in its people and culture

Everything begins when a church— a community of people gathering together to hear a message of hope— is planted in an unreached village. They then become a Community Hub of Hope where lives are transformed, and holistic development takes root. The result? Hundreds reached with the Gospel as the church grows and remains year after year.

When you plant a church, you provide training and mentorship, Bibles, resources, sustainability grant and a monthly stipend to an indigenous pastor who embeds himself deep into an unreached village and launches a process that results in community-wide Redemptive Lift.

Women Empowered & Children Protected

In the rural villages where Petros Network serves, 4 out of 5 people live in extreme poverty. Our indigenous leaders are trained to address the physical needs of their community by providing access to clean water, education and humanitarian aid that lifts the entire village.

The church plants are the hub that not only share the Gospel but also show it through initiatives that protect children, empower women, and sustainably meet physical needs. The result? The most vulnerable in society are lifted out of poverty and given a life of hope and dignity. Women rise and can provide for their families. And children have access to school, care, and a future shaped by hope.

A Community Moving Towards Self-Reliance

As we plant churches and address physical needs, we witness the Redemptive Lift Cycle. We watch God bring hope and transformation to previously unreached communities that results in the end of both spiritual and physical poverty for generations to come.

The Result? Sustainability through food security, clean water, and entrepreneurship. Through local leaders we are seeing communities come alive to the Hope of the Gospel and economies lifted.

A Different Kind of Invitation

Community Lifters would say:
“I don’t just want to help. I want to help something last.”

Community Lifters typically invest $15,000 or more annually, enabling deep, sustained transformation in a single community.

If God has entrusted you with resources to steward at this level, this pathway invites you to help shape the future of an entire community—where Christ is proclaimed and the poor are lifted with dignity.
